“Quaint village feel”

Reviewed 25 Sep 2014

Easy access to buses and trains to London and Heathrow. Good local shops for food and coffee . Quaint village feel.

“A lovely stay in a pleasant little village”

Reviewed 14 Apr 2014

We were made very welcome in this little cottage. It as very comfortable and well equipped although the stairs were not for anyone with mobility issues.

Owner's reply:How pleased Winchmore Hill residents will be to have the area called a "pleasant little village". Despite being incorporated into London 144 years ago, in 1870, when a train line from the centre of London was built, we pride ourselves on maintaining the friendly atmosphere of a village and keeping the old Village Green looking as nice as possible, even though cars having replaced horses and carts. This is a Conservation Area, which helps a lot.

“Absolutely beautiful - we did not want to go home”

Reviewed 11 Dec 2013

The Old Bakery was beautifully clean and comfortable but better than that, it was just like being at home. The deep-cushioned lounge suite cried out to be sat in with a good book or to watch an evening's tv, and we thoroughly enjoyed our wind downs in the evenings. The separate roomy dining room was warm and a great place to sit down as a family. With a wifi service available throughout the property we used the table heavily to download photos from our cameras, catch up on emails or just have a nice cuppa. The beds were immaculately clean and comfortable, ensuring a restful stay. On top of this the village was so welcoming and the train and bus were only a couple of minutes away. Perfect lodgings!

Owner's reply:It is always good to know that our guests really enjoyed the apartment. What a lovely review. It makes the work of getting everything as good as we can feel so worthwhile. I'm glad the cushions on the sofa are welcome. I added a couple of new ones recently. I think that good internet access is essential to most holiday makers these days. So, unlike most of the central London hotels (whom you would think could be more generous considering their high room rates) we do not charge for WiFi.

“Just What We Needed and More!”

Reviewed 22 Apr 2013

Its my second trip to the Old Bakery, although first visit to Chalkleys and this time with parents as well as husband (who has visited here with me before). We all loved the place, far better than staying in hotels, and great for my well-retired parents who loved the fact we had our own living room space and could all come and go as we pleased. A great situation and so handy for the trains - a short ride as well into the city. The area is lovely with a selection of good restaurants and takeaways as well as super delis and tea shops. Great for browsing and relaxing if you don't always want to go into London centre. There's a lovely park not far away too where you can go for a nice walk around the lake and even take a picnic.
Chalkleys is so well equipped and thoughtfully presented; it has atmosphere and history, but with all the modern touches you need.
We had a great welcome to the property and everything is well explained to make your vacation as easy as possible.
We definitely recommend and would stay again! Thank you Nina and family!

“Quiet, clean, spacious with good transport conncections to central London”

Reviewed 16 Apr 2013

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Bakery with our two children aged 12 and 16. This spacious appartment dating from late 1500's, is beautifully restored. Nina was a wonderful host and provided us with all sorts of information about London excursions and about the history of the Old Bakery itself. The price was reasonable (for London) and the travel connections to the downtown core worked well. A pleasant surprise are the three excellent restaurants (traditional, Greek-Cypriot Deli and Indian) less than 5 minutes walk from the flat with take-out possibilities (after a long day in the city!). I highly recommend this appartment.

“A cosy holiday home”

Reviewed 19 Jan 2013

This is a long overdue review. ( Sorry Nina!) We stayed in Chalkley for 2 weeks during the Easter break in 2011and liked it very much. The kitchen was very well equipped and I cooked quite a few times there. It was inconvenient to have the kitchen and the dinning room in two different floors but I overlooked this as we had a very nice stay in Chalkley on a whole.

“Great family accommodation and base for visiting London.”

Reviewed 5 Sep 2012

This property was an excellent base for visiting London as it was only 2 mins from the train station and 20 minutes from London. The cottage was cosy and full of character and had all we needed for a very comfortable stay. Nina was very friendly and helpful at all stages, from making the booking, to greeting us on arrival and seeing us before we left. She was on hand at all times should we have required. The cottage was spacious, clean and very well equipped and I would not hesitiate to recommend it to others. Kitchen upstairs may be a problem for those with mobility problems, but we found using the baskets to carry things up and down fine, in fact the kids enjoyed helping so it was good to get them involved. A little bit of traffic noise at the front, but not terrible. Looking forward to a return visit very soon.

“Home away from home”

Reviewed 18 May 2012

We had a wonderful time at Chalkleys, everything was as advertised, the owner was very helpful and explained everything for us on arrival. The house is old fashioned, but it has all the conveniences you'd expect from a modern house with an excellent kitchen and modern bathroom, except with the added character of an old house.
The area where the house is situated is very pretty, along with many shops near the house itself and many more in the town of Winchmore Hill itself (along with a large Sainsbury's supermarket).
Travelling to the centre of London is very easy & simple as a train station is only around the corner, and we travelled there and back many times throughout our stay.
We can't wait to come back!
